Compiling (OpenXcom)
The OpenXcom codebase is hosted on Github, and you can grab the latest source with any Git client from: https://github.com/SupSuper/OpenXcom.git
If you're a Github user you might wanna use a fork instead so you can have your own remote repository (you can't push to the official OpenXcom repository without permission) and easily send in pull requests.
OpenXcom is a cross-platform game so it's possible to compile it on a variety of systems and project files for all the popular IDEs are included. There's also a Doxygen documentation available.
Don't forget to copy the X-Com resources to your bin folder as shown in Installing.
